Adsorption of strontium from aqueous solution using ethyl butyl phosphonate (EBP) silica

Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: • Adsorption of Sr by ethyl butyl phosphonate silica was demonstrated for the first time. • Hydrodynamic adsorption was possible, with reasonable capacity, at a high flow-rate. • Optimal operating pH and maximum adsorption capacity were quantified. • The silica shows greater capacity for Sr than for transition metals. • Evidence suggests that the silica matrix directly interacts with the adsorption process; not just the functional group.
